My Daughter's A good clean comedy, one that de­ pends not only on the situations the author has conceived but also upon the personality of the performers, is always welcomed by play-goers. A man or woman who has worked hard all day in store, office, factory or fartn, wants a play that will rest and recreate him. He wants to sit down in a comfortable chair and have a good laugh. He wants a change to enjoy himself, feel good, feel rested and does not want a weepy, gloomy, long drawn out drama, espec­ ially if it is in the summer time. "My Daughter's Husband" is a comedy, a real comedy, a comedy that is a sure cure for the blues, a comedy that will make you laugh and forget the dntl routine of every day business cares. At the Central opera house, Sunday, Jnne 28rd, Sidney Erin Pilson, greatest of singing romantic comedians, will pro* duce "My Daughter's Husband." If yon want to laagh, if you enjoy a good play and like good singing specialties between the acts see "My Daughter's Husband" Sunday, June 23rd, at the Central opera house. dmt Ready For th« GltWM, Lyon Bros.' Tented Shows oomes to McHenry next Friday. The big white- wing canvas, under which the show will be given, will be spread on Eld- redge field, corner Waukeganand Front streets. This is the best of the old fash­ ioned shows; it is the sort of entertain­ ment planned for the boys and girls of fifty years ago. Coming in the year 1907 it is a novelty with which no other circus can compare. It has all the famous old features, such as races, rid­ ers, trained ponies, dogs and monkeys, with the old time singing and talking clowns. IluM at Stoffel's.

News Items In Condensed forn For Conven­ ience of Busy People. , ̂ f Eight automobiles are owned by Ge­ noa Junction citizens. The Borden company is building an addition to their Cary plant. A felass of twenty-two graduated from the Lake Geneva high school this year. The piavor of Elgin has prohibited the use of dynamite in that city on July Fourth. Marengo is planning on one of the biggest Fourth of July celebrations ever held in that city. The village of Richmond has approp­ riated $7,600 for the installation aWtl maintainance of a gas or electric light plant. Bishop McGavick, who, on account of ill health was forced to give np bis work some time ago, has again resumed his duties as assistant to Archbishop Quigley iu Chicago. Three new additions will be built to the Oliver factory at Woodstock tbis summer. When the new improve­ ments have been made it will be possi­ ble to increase the output in machines about one-third per day. A Kansas editor, who contracts the habit of going to church, has this to say: "Ladies should take off their bats in church. No preacher can inspire a man who is looking into a lopsided ag­ gregation of dead birds, stuffed weaseis, chamelion skins, ribbons, beads, sticks, straws, corh tassels and thistle down. It makes a sinner feel lost in a wilder­ ness. " The state law regulating use of auto­ mobiles on public highways, which becomes effective July 1, limits the rate of speed to20 miies an hour; ou residence streets in towns to 15 miles an hout; on business streets in towns to M miles an hour; and at crossing* to 6 miles an hour. It is a reasonable statute, and there will be no good excuse for failure to respect it. Wauconda Leader: J. H. Miller, the marble man, finished putting up a fine monument to the memory of Arthur Cook on Wednesday. Others to whom monuments have been erected this spring are E. F. Taggart, a little child of Joe Collins and one to the memory of the late Charles Granger. Mr. Miller does good work and makes reasonable prices on monumental work. Many of the Illinois postmasters will share in the prosperity of the country by having their salaries materially in­ creased, beginning July 1, because of the increased receipts of their offices during the year. The increase in north­ ern Illinois towns will be as follows: Woodstock, $2,200 to $2,300; Nunda, $1,300 to $1,400; Elgin and Springfield, $3,400 to $3,500; Aurora and Blooming- ton, $8,300 to $3,300; Danville, |3,100 to $3,200; Batavia and Wheaton, $2,400 to $2,500; Harvard, $2,100 to $2,200; Gene­ va, $1,800 to $1,900; Dundee, $1,000 to $1,700. Belvidere, La Grange and Downer'B Grove are among the cities whose offices were reduced. It might be well to watch all change of the smaller denominations for the next few days for you may discover that yon are in possession of some coins which never came from Uncle Sam's mints. It has just been discovered that there is a generous amount of spurious coin in circulation throughout the oountry, and principally of the quarter and. half dollar denominations. The quarters, which are a rank imitation of the genuine article, bear the date of 1898 and are easily distinquished by their lightness in weight and by the inferior metal need. An instance is known where one woman received three of these counterfeit quarters in one day. The counterfiet half dollars are not so much in "evidence, but several have uoeu uuuuTvibu lit iur yiit iow uajra. Nunda Herald: One of the biggest sidewalk orders ever passed by any villi^ in this section -went through at the meeting of the Nunda village board la«r Friday night. The -motion, which was unanimously carried, calls for the construction of 3.200 running feet of cement sidewalk, four feet in width, to be laid from the ice track to A. E. Swensen's corner. It will make a pretty strip of walk, and will prove an ideal "lover's lane," being flanked on both sides, for most of the way, by big shade trees. There is considerable fill­ ing to be done, and it is estimated that the walk complete will cost from $1,200 to $1,500, of which amount the property owners pay half and the city half. The property owners living along the line of construction were present at the meeting of the boa#d to personally back np their petition for the building of the walk. Sidney firlu filion. One of the best known Irish comedians on the boards today is Sidney Erin Pil­ son. At the Central opera honse, Sun­ day, June 23, Mr. Pilson and his company of noted players will present the screamingly funny comedy, "My Daughter's Husband." The same com­ pany played Belvidere, June 13, 14 and 15th; Dixon, June 10, 17, and 18th, and tbecri^s of all the cities played a?e unanimous in the declaration that the play, company and star are among the best that have appeared il the Wast this season. ia; NEPTUNE CLUB AT M'COLLUM'S Hold Tfcetr «r*nd Op#niBf tf Cwa» K*st v Saaday. The Neptune club, composed of a most jolly crowd of Chicago's most en­ terprising business men, held its grand opening at the Sunset cottage at Lake­ side farm, McCollum's Lake, last Sun­ day. Twelve members of the clnb were present, besides a large number of Visitors. The day proved an ideal one for the opening, and the gentlemen felt rather happy in being Incky enough to secure such a pleasant place for their camping grounds. The day was spent in fishing, si general enjoyment. There bwiug an octette of exceptionally good singer* among the gentlemen, a number of Swedish, Norwegian and English songs were rendered, to the delight of all present, the last two seags being "The Soldier's Farewell"and '•llliuoiR." In the last named song the chef, Mr. Wm. Dahlen, took the solo part and did so in a most pleasing manner. There were a great many other very enjoyable features connected with the opening of the camp, among the most important ones being the ever entertaining clown, "Pelle," without whom the camp could scarcely exist "Pelle" and his side partuer, "Bass'i Johnson, are a good merry-making team, who keep things quite lively about the camp. On July Fourth the entire clnb, with their families, will be out to spend the day at the camp, and from that time on until the close of the season the camp will present an active scene. This club has visited McHenry many times during the past two seasons and onr people are always pleased to see them come, as their singing has met with great favor by the citizens. It is to be hoped that we may again have the pleasure of lis* tening to some of their selections daring their encampment at the lake. The members present at the opening are as follows: Emil Rosen, presideqt; S. P. Swanson, vice president; Axel Luudberg, secretary; C. A. Orre, treas­ urer; Wm. Dahlen, chef; Lennart Tbor- stenson, Gifts Gustafsou, Martin A. Carlson, Axel Geherrstrom, John Nor- [*nder, Wolf rid Larson, John P. John-I son. The visitors present were: Gust L. Swenson, B. Nordqnist, John J. Bar­ bian, Chas. A. Johnston, August W. Thorson, Ad. Theo. Johnson, Artbnr Chenstrom, Carl A. Johnston, G. C. Boley, George Rothermel, John D. Lodtz, "Pelle" Westerberg.

Louis Petra, aged 24, was drowned in the Fox river near Cary Monday even­ ing at 8 o'clock, and his body was not recovered until 9 o'clock Tuesday morn­ ing. Petra and two companions, Joseph Kryal and Rysa O'Krup, were swimming where the river is deep, one- half mile north of town, when the un­ fortunate youth remarked that he would dive. The other two saw him as he went into the water, but could not tell in the dark whether he came up. They swam ashore, and not hearing their companion, crossed back on the river to the place where he went down. They conld not find him, and a searching party worked on the river all night without result, Tuesday morning he was found in deep water. Petra was a stone mason and was unmarried. He bad lived at Cary only a short time, and was not widely known in the vicinity.

The public meeting held by Jaoob Bel I hart last Sunday at his Spirit Fruit farm at Wooster Lake was attended by 400 people. The guests were shown thru the temple and afterwards gath­ ered on the spacions lawn, where the Father of the Free Love cult gave his address. His talk, according to those who were present, was nothing like they expected to hear, in foot, he did not say anything out of the ordinary. He merely told the people that he be' lievee in a person living as he sees fit to live; that society as it is now is a sham from start to finish; he said he did not believe in prosecution of criminals and cited instances in his life where men were made better by avoiding prosecu­ tion for crime. The visitors were most­ ly Chicago people and farmers from the surrounding territory.
